Lust twists intimacy into selfishness. It objectifies others and poisons relationships. But God calls us to holiness and self-control— not out of shame, but out of love. Purity protects what is sacred. Join us for week four of our series, inSINdious.

Trevor Miller, Faith Formation Pastor, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Stephen Fitch, Evangelism and Assimilation Pastor, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.

For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.



School Supply Drive 

Our annual School Supply Drive starts next Sunday, July 20. Each year, we team up with our local missions partners to provide kids all over our community with the tools they need to succeed for the upcoming school year. The digital School Supply List can be viewed online at mthorebchurch.org/schoolsupplydrive. We ask that all items be new and unopened and that you pray over the children who will receive the supplies you bring in! You can bring your items to the Missions Center on your way into church on July 20 and 27 or Monday–Friday, July 21-25 at the Missions Ministry office porch. We thank you for your generosity to this ministry year after year. 



Kids Worship Camp

Get ready for four action-packed mornings of worship and creativity! We’re inviting rising 2nd through 5th graders to join us July 21-24 from 9 AM - 12 PM for an unforgettable experience exploring the creative arts through worship and music. Each day will be filled with group singing, hands-on workshops and engaging music instruction that brings worship to life.

On Thursday, July 24, at noon, parents and loved ones are invited to a special showcase. You’ll get to see some of the songs the kids have been learning, along with fun demonstrations of what they’ve discovered during the week.

Camp participants are also encouraged to attend Sunday morning worship in the Sanctuary on July 27, where they will sing during both Traditional Worship services at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM. Participants should arrive by 8:00 AM and will be finished by 11:30 AM. Those who participate in both services will receive a surprise!

Space is limited, so don’t wait! Register here. We can’t wait to welcome your child for a week of fun, faith and music!

Worship Workshops

The Contemporary Worship Team is hosting Worship Workshops for rising 6th-12th grade students interested in learning more about worship music, live production, and Pastoral ministry. This is a great opportunity to learn more about one of these areas and a great way to develop and define skills. If you are a beginner, this is also an opportunity to be exposed to how these ministries work together to serve in a worship service setting. Worship Workshops will be July 29-31 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The deadline to register is July 21. Register here.



Small Group Launch

At Mt. Horeb, we believe that one of the best ways for us to stay in rhythm with God is by being in intentional, small group community with other Christians who are committed to living like Jesus. This August, we will be launching new small groups to help you find a place to grow and belong. If you are interested in joining one of these newly forming small groups, please fill out the information form here, and we will place you in a group, based on your preferences. In August 2025, we will hold a small group launch over the course of two weeks. 

During week one, we will explore why we are called to be in community together. Groups will be invited to come to this first session on Sunday, August 10 at 9 AM.

During week two, we will explore how we are called to be in community together. Groups will be invited to come to this second session on Sunday, August 17 at 9 AM.

After those two weeks, groups will be launched to go and start meeting. If you are interested in inviting individuals or couples whom you are already connected with to join you, just indicate that in the form. Once you fill out your information, you will receive details about this exciting opportunity for growth! Registration will close on August 3. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at rachel.carosiello@mthorebchurch.org.

Truly, we are better at finding the rhythm of our life with God when we do it together. We hope you’ll join us!

Prasanth Update

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus!

We humbly request your continued prayers as we have now begun the process of dismantling what remains and stepping into the journey of rebuilding our church premises after the devastating fire incident.

This is a significant and sensitive phase for us not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Every brick removed holds memories, and every plan laid for reconstruction carries hope. We trust that God, who is our builder and foundation, will lead us step by step, providing strength, provision and unity.

Please pray for:

• Wisdom and guidance in every decision and interaction
• Safety for all workers and volunteers involved in dismantling and construction
• Favor from authorities and smooth processing of necessary permissions
• Provision of resources: financial, material and human
• Peace and strength for the congregation as we rebuild not just the structure but continue the mission God has entrusted to us

We deeply value your support in prayer. Let us continue to stand together in faith, trusting that what the enemy meant for harm, God will turn for good.

In His service,

Prasanth Bethu

Krupa Samajam, Mangalagiri
